Marikuku Wirrpanda yiḏaki Eb/G (HLY-531)

$850

This is a great-looking tapered open-bore instrument with medium backpressure and excellent playability. Its sound is warm, rich in low harmonics, and has great acoustic presence. I recommend it for both traditional and contemporary players.

The artwork depicts waŋupini, the triangular cloud formations that appear above the horizon in Northeast Arnhem Land at the onset of the wet season. Waŋupini is sung by several Yirritja moiety clans and symbolizes renewal and the cyclical nature of life and the world.
